Location
My West Sussex studio in the UKTime
MiddayLighting
Was a single light with large soft box. The hair was flipped using a small reflector to puff at the face and move the hair around. It is a very much trial and error processEquipment
Canon 1DX and Elinchrom 500FXInspiration
Her long hair, and wanting movement in the shotEditing
There were some layers work in Photoshop to help balance the shadeIn my camera bag
Everything canon.... but to be honest, I usually just have the Canon 1DX and the 28-105mm.... That's about itFeedback
Set up the portrait from toes to top of head and light the face as you want to see it. For me a fine art fell of extra contrast suited. Then have your assistant puff up with a small grey card or reflector to push air up over the face and move the hair. No need for a blower.
